SEPTA is New Rochelle’s Special Education PTA. SEPTA fosters support for all children in our district that may be facing academic, physical, and/or social challenges. The programs we support certainly help those children with a formal review and defined services– but our involvement extends beyond that and helps any child with any type of a need.

SEPTA communicates, funds, and assists in supporting programs that help children to accept and understand each other.

We understand that it takes a village and SEPTA highlights the actions of those in our community that work to ensure our challenged children are actively included as important, contributing members of our community through our “We Are One” awards dinner. Look for invites in March – it’s really the best night in New Rochelle!

If there’s an intervention you believe your child may need or a challenge your child is facing, a program you don’t understand – please know that you can reach out to SEPTA and we’ll offer our resources, knowledge, and energies to help you. It’s a great district-wide network and resource.

We are proud to announce that the New Rochelle High School chapter of Best Buddies has been selected for the Outstanding Chapter Award for New York State.

Best Buddies New York which sponsors the award said the chapter, “absolutely went above and beyond this year with your programs, and we want to show you off! We are endlessly impressed by your leadership, spirit, and passion for social inclusion. In so many ways, your chapter serves as a model for the Best Buddies program.”
